The draft legislation represents a takeover of Hong Kong, White House National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien said.
This would result in the imposition of sanctions against China under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019, O'Brien said. The draft legislation represents a takeover of Hong Kong, O'Brien said, and as a consequence U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would likely be unable to certify that the city maintains a "high degree" of autonomy. This would result in the imposition of sanctions against China under the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019, O'Brien said.for Hong Kong's autonomy. O'Brien warned that Hong Kong could lose it status as a major hub for global finance.
"If all those things go away, I'm not sure how the financial community can stay there. ...They're not going to stay in Hong Kong to be dominated by the People's Republic of China, the communist party.", the National People's Congress. The session had been delayed for months during the coronavirus pandemic. Hong Kong faced months of at times violent anti-government protests before the pandemic effectively shut China down.
hkordinarygirl CHINA is Donalde Trump USA is not Donalde Trump
Thank You. God bless America.
Great! The perfect time to rev up hostilities, sanctions w/ China! Let's cripple more supply lines, hit companies' profits more than Covid so they fire more workers so we need to spend and borrow more and hit the economy even harder. At least it'll appeal to Trump's base.
I support Hong Kong democracy and human rights.
If rioters keep destroying Hong Kong, it will lllse the financial hub anyway. Might as well fix it once and for all. Afterall, which country does not have national security law? Back in 1967, when there was riot, didn’t they UK help? HK will remains as a financial hub.
This will be a welcome decision. CCPChina has been getting away with its atrocities and defiance of the world order for too long. It is time for CCP to face the consequences of its actions. StandwithHonKong
Absolutely! It’s not a matter of Hong Kong, but for all the countries. Beijing can easily dishonour Joint Declaration, calling it a historical document. Who knows when she will disregard the international agreements/ trade deals with your country? StandwithHK or be HK next.
Don’t forget ccp officals and her family in US. carrielam son is in US now
smegandtheheads We're seeing an underdeveloped mentality, filled with prejudice & hate, and utterly lacking in culture, honour or humility, being granted a huge economy without the usual long development process to hone social and economic responsibly. It must be stopped. Now. COVIDー19 CCP
Looking forward to see China getting the consequence of killing autonomy and freedom of HK!
Come on baby. If there’s no 2 systems, it’s the time to cancel preferential status given to HK
USA will likely face sanctions over its action over pandemic
hope those anctions make lest effect on people's daily life in China , they really have a tough time now
StandWithHongKong YouCantStopUs
huwaei shd be top of list
It was following the same law the U.S. passed a few years ago. No one claimed sanction over the U.S.
CCP only understands actions. Nullify Shanghai Communiqué and restore full diplomatic relations with Taiwan in response to CCP’s trashing of Sino-British Joint Declaration on 1-Country 2-System for HK till 2047.
Haha. A joke, right.
Sanction, lmao, did America has the ability?
QUE PASARIA SI FUERA AL REVEZ?CALIFORNIA QUERIENDOSE SEPARAR Y CHINA ENVIANDOLES ARMAS?COMO REACCIONARIA EEUU
战争也打过，制裁有什么可怕？
A 1000% tariff would be a good start
This is great news.

Big deal.
chawong852 I think so,too.🇯🇵
Playground bully continually threatening China with sanctions, military patrols & activity in China's backyard. Do we ever hear of Chinese patrols off US waters? There is a comeuppance on the horizon sooner or later I would think
America doesn't need China. All China does is inflate a trade deficit (to many imports) and use stocks as fund raisers.
Under the unfair US sanctions on China over the last 40 years in different ways. Look how China has grown into economic powerhouse. Nothing can stop China 🇨🇳 from moving forward. 😎
